His first two solo albums are good: Try Whistling This (1998) and One Nil (2001).It took me a long time to realise how good Crowded House are, I think I had some unaccountable unconscious bias against them. Having belatedly "discovered" them though over the last year or so I love some of their stuff. I think the Beatles comparison isn't overstating the quality of their work.
I dare say I'll get round to listening to listening some more Neil Finn at some point, a recommendation on where to start wouldn't go amiss although Spotify top tracks is always a default option.
Don McGlashan came up on the random tracks on Spotify after I'd played my own playlist, I can't remember which song but it wasn't one I got into.
Definitely keeping these two when this week is over.The two highlights for me are Pink Frost and Down in Splendour

Crowded House were my number 1 artist for a good 10 years and an still love them. Their first four albums with the original line-up are all superb.Just about to listen to this playlist having been focused on The Pixies over the last few days.
I was reluctantly dragged to see Crowded House when they toured Woodface. I ended up seeing them twice more on the same tour. Bit well mannered but lovely melodies. Would love to have seen the 7 Worlds Collide gigs Finn did with Marr and Eddie Vedder et al but a bit of a hike!
Tbh I think Finn is better when he's collaborating with other people be it his brother or others. Try Whistling This is probably my favourite of his solo albums but I think that might in part be Crowded House material.

Johnny Marr put in a guest appearance when Neil Finn played at the Lowry in 2014.
Do I send it to you @CoatiganWithout wanting to distract from any last minute comments on this in the 15 odd hours it has left, a quick reminder @mancity2012_eamo that you are up tomorrow. Not that you maybe need it, but better safe than late.
